A SNIP IT OF JOY

The other night I looked at Tyson sitting in the kitchen with me, and (speaking from the heart of a loving mom), I said…

“Hey Bud.  I wanna tell you something.  Did you know that I thought I’d have at least 3 or 4 kids.  But I only have 2. You and Alyssa.  One boy and one girl.  I want you to know that I am soo glad that only having one son, I have one like you.  I am lucky to have a boy like you who….etc…and I love you.”

When I was finished, he looked at me for a second and said.

“OK. And Mom?  Did you read that in a poem or something?” 

I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be great if he thought everything I said was poetic?
